A federal judge refused late Thursday to order that people who registered to vote on Oct. 11 be allowed to cast a ballot in this election.
Judge Steven Logan acknowledged that the deadline set by Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan to register for the general election fell on Oct. 10 — Columbus Day, both a state and federal holiday.
Arizona law says that when a deadline falls on a holiday, it is moved to the following day, Logan also acknowledged.
